“Since my purpose here is to dispel falsehoods used by Russia's rulers to perpetuate their power and excuse their corruption, let me begin with that untruth,” McCain wrote. “I am not anti-Russian. I am pro-Russian, more pro-Russian than the regime that misrules you today.” Oooo! Snap!
The Man From Arizona continued, "A Russian citizen could not
publish a testament like the one I just offered. President Putin and his
associates do not believe in these values. They don't respect your
dignity or accept your authority over them. They punish dissent and
imprison opponents. They rig your elections. They control your media.
They harass, threaten, and banish organizations that defend your right
to self-governance. To perpetuate their power they foster rampant
corruption in your courts and your economy and terrorize and even
assassinate journalists who try to expose their corruption.
They
write laws to codify bigotry against people whose sexual orientation
they condemn. They throw the members of a punk rock band in jail for the
crime of being provocative and vulgar and for having the audacity to
protest President Putin's rule." Double snaps in a Z formation!We know this it the truth, since "Pravda" translates to just that in English. It might have been more truthful if John would have mentioned the punk rock band by name: Pussy Riot. But maybe that's too much truth, even for a Maverick.
